Malaika Arora Opens Up About Divorce With Arbaaz Khan; Says ‘The Decision Was Never Easy To Make’

The gorgeous Malaika Arora and the very handsome Arbaaz Khan left their fans shocked when they decided to file for divorce after 17 long years of marriage. They met for the first time at the set of a coffee brand advertisement in 1993 and fell head over heels in love by the end of the shoot. They tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in 1998 and welcomed baby Arhaan in 2002. Sadly, things didn’t work out as planned and the two got separated in 2016.

Malaika recently got candid about the divorce during a chat with BFF Kareena Kapoor Khan on her talk show and shared, “Everyone suggested me not to do it, ‘no one is going to say that your decision is right, so go for it’. Even the night before I got divorced, my family asked me 'Are you sure about your decision?' But I think, people who care for you will definitely be worried about you.”

She went on to add, “The decision was never easy to make and at the end of the day, someone has to be blamed. We both decided to take this step as it would be better for us and the people around us.” The beauty also opened up about how their son Arhaan accepted the decision. Malaika said, “I would want a happy environment for my child and with time he has been more accepting. Not only this but one day he even said, ‘Mom, it’s good to see you happy and smiling’”.

The two have reportedly moved on and are currently in a happy space. While Arbaaz is in a steady relationship with Georgia Andriani, Malaika found love in Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor.
